3.0 X5 without a doubt.

if you're looking for a maintenance free car however, none of the above.

I know it wasn't on your list of three choices, and the MDX might be a little bland compared to the X5, but reliability wise, the MDX is the choice.

The facelifted '07s are still expensive, but the '06 and previous models are very reasonable in price.

Every vehicle has problems... that is a given. And the tech that moved to VW from BMW said the V-dubs have just as many, if not more problems. Bottom line is the more stuff a vehicle has and the more trick each function is... the more things there are that can go wrong.
